My husband wakes up 5 minutes before he has to leave, and if he’s going 15 minutes away, that means he GETS UP 20 minutes before he has to be somewhere.
The only exception to that rule is when I need to be somewhere, because he will ask me what time I need to leave, and he will actually get up 30 minutes before that time. Essentially, he only makes sure he’s awake enough to drive when I’m in the car. I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about that because I’m happy he’s accommodating my needs, but that also means he values my life more than his, whereas I worry about his safety.
I’d guess it’s really that you talk to him in the car so he has to be that much more awake to add that to his multitasking, to drive at the same amount of safety.
They know me so well! 😭
